Tablehopper founder and writer, Marcia Gagliardi, who singlehandedly changed the way people write about food in the Bay Area, announced today a new venture about Bay Area grub joints, watering holes, and more. Behold:

So, you ready for my big news? No, it’s not on the scale of Oprah’s secret sister, although the actual news isn’t that far off topic: tablehopper has a new sister site, Deep Dishing! It’s a new kind of forum about Bay Area restaurants: a positive one, focusing on the best dishes, drinks, and hot tips! The Deep Dishing community and site will guide you to what to order and what’s delicious the next time you’re heading out (especially useful if it’s your first time somewhere, or you’re just looking for inspiration). If there was something you didn’t like, well, on Deep Dishing, you don’t talk about it—it’s only about what’s good.

Delightful.

Gagliardi goes on to describe Deep Dishing as "a friendly place for the tablehopper community to share and quickly find details about what’s good in restaurants in the Bay Area (and beyond)." While the new online food presence will start locally - i.e., Bay Area, wine country - "the site's locations will expand soon."

What a way to kickoff your five-year anniversary, Ms. Gagliardi!
